Achieving high energy at an affordable cost and without compromising with safety is the Grail of the Li-ion, and of the whole battery industry. Solvay Special Chem has increased its efforts to propose innovating Electrolyte Ingredients to the battery makers to enable High Voltage solutions. Solvay offer includes high purity salts (LiTFSI, Lithium Triflate and by the end of the year LiFSI) and Additives (FEC, TAB, and newly developed fluoro-additives shown to have excellent results in high Voltage Systems, such as F2EC and SA27). With the acquisition of Energain™ Solvay will add to its portfolio Solvents and Ingredients Platforms (pre-formulations), showing unprecedented results. Finally, Solvay proposes ionic liquids based on TFSI to increase battery safety. By enabling high Energy systems with only moderate electrolyte price increase, Solvay products allow to significantly reduce the cost of batteries (in $/kWh) while improving performances and safety.

A world leader in high performance plastics, Solvay Specialty Polymers offers an unmatched, comprehensive portfolio of over 36 product lines, available in more than 1.500 formulations. Among these we include Solvene® EAP electro-active family of piezo, pyro, ferroelectric or ferro-relaxor polymers, which combines excellent electro-mechanical properties with easy processing and flexibility for force-sensing, flexible displays, piezo switch applications and much more. It is with this, and our dedicated R&I team, that we are contributing towards taking human-machine interaction to the next level.
